Alaattin Büyükkaya: Parliaments’ decision on made-up “Armenian genocide” is harmful for Armenia itself

According to APA Istanbul reporter, deputy of Grand National Assembly of Turkey representing of the ruling Justice and Developemt Party, head of Turkish parliamntary delegation in OSCE Alaattin Büyükkaya said.

“First of all, I reprobate Swedish parliament’s decision with outrage. This is purely political decision. 56 countries, which gathered in OSCE Astana meeting, unanimously came to the agreement and decided that the historians are eligible to make decisions related to the historical events, but not the parliaments. However, regretfully we keep on witnessing how the parliaments make political decisions related to the historical events. This decision doesn’t matter to Turkey. I’d like to underline that this decision is more harmful to Armenia then to Turkey. Because, Armenian economy is very weak and Armenian people are very poor. Therefore, peace in the region first of all will be more useful to Armenia. I am confident, such kind of decisions will strengthen relationships between Turkey and Azerbaijan”, - said Turkish deputy.
